The Writer
by Nabiha Mheidly
Description
Let’s say you want to write a story. How do you start? Do you have an idea? Have you chosen your protagonist? Can you think of a plot? Well, don’t worry... Just let your imagination guide you.
This is how our writer racked his brain to invent a unique-looking cat that becomes the hero of a tale full of adventure. Our writer couldn’t but develop feelings with his protagonist. He got worried as his lively cat faced some difficulties. Yet he didn’t interfere. He gave the cat enough freedom that is essential for self-development. And when the cat was brave and independent enough to face its own problems, our writer gets rest assured for this closure. But it didn’t end here. The cat wanted to explore the world through new stories and the writer reluctantly had to allow it. The cat becomes a companion in the writer’s imagination long after he completed the story.

“You can philosophize about this story, which is full of power and wit and allows its characters to do exactly what makes books so special. In any case, I've rarely met a more lively cat than this one.”

“Just a great story, lovingly illustrated, or is it a non-fiction book, how classified? I think both. It's a good story. But it's also factual history how authors develop a book. Idea, figure, plot - the fight with the figures, putting them in their place. Find an end. But the figure stays forever. On top of that, there are instructions for children to use this common thread to find their own story. “
